Determining the fate of the universe. Hierarchical relationship of gaming roles and their difference in the capabilities set up a self-regulating political system based on the principle of checks and balances. The highest level of the political system regulates the diplomatic relations among races through the intergalactic council representing the interests of each fraction. Type of the domestic political system of each race is determined by the players themselves with the aim of regulating relations of different groups of citizens. Important role in determining the direction of development plays the head of fraction, and the Grand Council of Lords. Policy of star systems, planets and territories is exercised by local lords participating in the lowest level of political relations. Each player who has reached a certain level of development in one of four paths can become a lord. The mechanics of the game provides players with a huge number of powers and capabilities in defining global goals, the announcement of war or peace, prioritizing scientific development. The system of science globally affects the opportunities of citizens of a specific fraction and game balance in general.

Spaceships, as well as the planet's surface, are arenas for fighting, but may move that give players the opportunity to model battlefields themselves. The enormous variability of battle places and conditions makes the ability to adapt to the specific circumstances the distinguishing feature of realistic combat mechanics and a priority in the development of the character.
